Labor talks between Samsung Electronics and its union broke down on Wednesday, heightening fears of a strike scheduled for May 21. The presidential office vowed to support further dialogue.
Labor negotiations at Samsung Electronics collapsed on Wednesday after two days of government-mediated talks.
The union rejected a proposal for performance-based bonuses tied to operating profits and said it would hold no further talks until the planned strike ends. The action scheduled for May 21 would mark the company's first major walkout.
Cheong Wa Dae pledged to actively support dialogue between the sides. The dispute follows record profits at Samsung driven by demand for AI chips.
